Personal Notes - Psalm 139:10

“Even there Thy hand will lead me, And Thy right hand will lay hold of me.”

When I thought of His right hand laying hold of me, it was a wonder to me that His hand would guide me all the way to Australia (half a world away) and sustain me there to call me to a new way to serve Him.

“But the righteousness based on faith speaks thus, ‘Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ (that is to bring Christ down), or ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’ (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.) But what does it say? “The Word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart’ – that is, the Word of faith which we are preaching, that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved;” Romans 10:6-9

Before you were a gleam in your parents’ eyes, the Lord knew you and loved you and no matter how far you try to run or hide, He quietly (sometimes loudly) stays beside you and within you and over you -- not to hurt you or haunt, but to show you what AMAZING GRACE and LOVE really is.

“In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation (full and complete and perfect payment) for our sins.” I John 4:10

Stay near God's Word. Take care. Your servant & friend in Christ, Darlene
